Attendance

At Warren Dell we emphasise the importance of high attendance. Every term we award children with certificates for attendance over 97%. We also thank parents for supporting their child's good attendance.

However, if your child is unwell, and unable to attend school, we ask that you inform the school office before 9am in order for the register to be completed. If we do not hear from you, we will ring to find out why your child is not in school. Please only keep your child off if their illness is infectious or they are too ill to attend. Good attendance is an important habit that will support your child’s future learning.

If you are planning a holiday or trip to visit relatives, please plan this during the school holidays. The local authority attendance officer monitors the attendance of all children at least once a term. As a school we aim for every child’s attendance to be 97%. The DfE has published statutory guidance for all schools that must be followed from 18th August 2024.
